Hi,
I've got a problem with the washing machine, and would appreciate some views on how repairable it will be, and if it is, whether it will be cost effective.
For those who are interested, it's a Whirlpool AWOD 6727, and it's about 2 years old.
In summary, the spin cycle has been getting increasingly loud over the last couple of months, which I assumed was down to it being on a slightly uneven floor. Unfrotunately at the weekend it stopped when it got to the spin cycle, with an error code relating to the motor / irregular spin (for any experts in Whirlpool fault codes it was F06).
I have reset it a few times, and it stops and shows th fault code every time it tries to spin.
I have opened it up today, and found that the problem seems to be with the concrete block on top of th drum - this was sitting at an angle, with one bolt nowehere to be seen, and another having pulled out the part of the plastic casing around the drum it was attached to.
I believe that this will have pushed the drum to the wrong position, causing the error with the spin, but even if i can correct this, is this likely to have done any further damage?
I will try to upload some pics to help explain what I mean shortly.
Thanks in advance
